The UK Commercial Cleaning Solutions (UKCCS) team is officially in training mode after pledging its support to Sara’s Hope Foundation.

The company, which now forms part of UK Commercial Group, was approached by Sara’s Hope to run September’s Great North Run on their behalf and raise the all-essential funds that the children’s cancer charity relies on.

Known for delivering a comprehensive list of high quality commercial cleaning services, the UKCCS team has been working closely with the Newcastle-upon-Tyne based charity in recent months. Sara’s Hope Foundation was set up in memory of Sara Hoburn, an inspiring teenager who lost her two year battle against a rare form of colon cancer at the age of 16 in 2001.

Using Sara’s story as an inspiration, the charity run a holiday retreat in Crete to give children and young people with cancer and their families some much needed respite and give all those affected a chance to create precious memories that they can treasure for years to come.

We are proud to support the amazing work that the charity do any way we can, with our first fundraising activity taking on the world’s greatest half marathon this September,” said Tony Earnshaw, founder and owner of UK Commercial Cleaning Solutions.

UK Commercial Cleaning will take on the Great North Run on 13th September 2015 to raise funds for Sara’s Hope Foundation. Tony and the rest of the team will run the 13.1 mile route through Newcastle city centre, along the River Tyne and across the iconic Tyne Bridge before finishing their journey on the coast of South Shields.

Tony added: “The Great North Run is an epic challenge for any participant, but to do this for an inspiring charity like Sara’s Hope is all the motivation we need. We hope that we can raise money to send more children and their families to the beautiful island of Crete and put a smile on the faces of those affected by cancer.”
